The issue with Peloton is not that the pandemic is ending, people are going to gyms again etc. but their failure to evolve the product.
It was innovate when first launched but their half fitness-half entertainment focus has left them unable to do either effectively. Competitors have taken a much more serious approach to fitness and have a better product or have focused mostly on casual fitness (Apple Fitness) and have a more polished end user experience.
- kilbuz 5y agoDo you think they also are running out of new customers in the luxury home gym market?
- alfalfasprout 5y agoI mean, not really. Gyms are open in many cities but people that built home gyms are still actively using them.
- kodah 5y agoI thought about getting a Peloton because I like to bike every day, but it gets a bit cold for me to do so. The deal breaker on Peloton for me was that they locked down their platform. I couldn't install Zoom or any other apps that I wanted, I had zero control over the camera, etc... I really wanted to do PR/Code review on my bike, but if I can't even install Zoom then that's definitely a no-go. Why was any of this necessary on an exercise bike that is otherwise great quality?
